*NDR* halloween warning, new form of crystal meth
« on: October 03, 2007, 07:48:48 pm »
i know a lot of us have kids who will be going trick-or-treating so i thought i'd pass this on.  i'd hate for someone's kids to get sick from this.  there sure are some twisted people out there  >:(

Halloween Warning for Parents
Body: There is a type of crystal meth going around that looks like strawberry pop rocks. It smells like strawberry also and it is being handed out to kids in school yards in AR. I'm sureit will make its way around the country. Kids are ingesting this thinking it is candy and being rushed off to the ER in dire condition.

It also comes in chocolate, peanut butter, cola, cherry, grape and orange.
It looks just like pop rocks.

Please instruct children to not accept candy that looks like this even from a friend and to take any that they may have to a teacher, principal, etc.

Pass this around it could save some family a lot of heartache!

They call it strawberry meth or strawberry quick.
